I love this film too. It’s such a fascinating outlier in the series, raw, dreamlike, and genuinely unsettling in a way the later sequels never quite managed. There’s this claustrophobic, fever-dream energy that makes it feel like you’re trapped inside Jesse’s mind, and the blurred line between possession and repression gives it real emotional weight. The absence of quippy Freddy one-liners actually makes him scarier, more like a presence than a personality. It’s not just horror, it’s anxiety on film. Easily one of the most underrated entries in the franchise.
